Re: Caribbean archives
I heard some years ago that Yale University bought the Mangones Collection,
a fabulous Haitian private collection. The National Archives in
Port-au-Prince have something too. Contact the director Wilfrid Bertrand.
Here in Santo Domingo, in the Archivo General de la Nación you can see the
archives of Higuey & Bayaguana, and the Church Archives. But nothing in the
Web.
